An introduction to the subject of medieval seals in Britain, this text discusses every kind of seal used for authenticating documents, their development, design and use. Many of the seals are from the extensive collections of the British Library and the Public Record Office. A detailed caption of each seal is provided, including the seal's actual dimensions, together with an index of mottoes and inscriptions. Considerable references to contemporary records place the seals in their historical context.
